The details

Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria issues invoices for a vehicle’s annual registration fee 30 days prior to the due date. You’ll receive an invoice for your annual registration fee at the same time each year.

Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria has not been issuing invoices for the past 18 months as we transitioned to the new regulatory arrangements. We expect to begin sending vehicle registration annual fee invoices from the first half of 2019.

The fee does not apply to the previous or coming year, it is simply applied annually at a point in time. Therefore, we will not charge fees that would have been due within the last 18 months when we re-commence the process.

Please note that you do not need to take any action until you receive your invoice. In the meantime, if you wish to check your registration remains active, please search the Public Register.

Payment instructions will be included on the invoice. If you do not pay your vehicle’s annual registration fee by the due date specified on the invoice, your vehicle’s registration as a commercial passenger vehicle will be cancelled.

If your vehicle’s registration is cancelled and you wish to continue providing commercial passenger vehicle services, you will need to register your vehicle online, this also costs $53.80. For more information visit register a vehicle.

If you have a question, please send an email to contact@cpv.vic.gov.au or phone our Call Centre on 1800 638 802.
